And what a HOT SHORTS it was!

Across the festival, we welcomed 800 audience members, brought together 29 performers, 12 directors and 10 writers, supported by the many wonderful volunteers who helped make it all happen.

It really does take a village. ❤️

HOT SHORTS is about more than the awards. It’s about giving people a place to have a go — to write something, step onto a stage, direct a work, try something new and be part of our creative community.

We hope HOT SHORTS 2026 has inspired even more writers, performers and directors to have a go next time.

And some very special thank-yous are in order.

A huge thank you to our incredible Artistic Director, Mike Russo, whose passion, energy and commitment were at the heart of HOT SHORTS 2026.

To our talented and devoted theatre technician, Hielrick, who brought out the best in every play by illuminating and enhancing the stories through sound and lighting.

To our wonderful Master of Ceremonies, Michael Sharmon, thank you for guiding us through the season with warmth and good humour.

To Warren Kennedy, who looked after Front of House — thank you for welcoming our audiences and helping everything run so smoothly.

And a massive thank you to the incredible Mullum Potters team, who kept everyone fuelled with delicious eats and treats throughout the season. You were such an important part of the HOT SHORTS experience.

And, of course, thank you to every writer, performer, director, volunteer and audience member who came along, took a chance, lent a hand, bought a ticket, cast a vote or cheered from the audience.

You made HOT SHORTS 2026 happen.

Applications for HOT SHORTS 2028 will open early next year. We hope to see plenty of familiar faces — and lots of new ones — having a go.
